About Karen

The home was meticulously renovated for the vacation home experience. Our rental houses are above and beyond your average home rental. We provide concierge one on one service, impeccably clean homes and attention to detail.

My husband and I enjoy sharing our city with others and enjoy making people feel comfortable and special. We will do our best to make your stay comfortable and worry free.

Karen purchased this house in 2011

Why Karen chose Colorado Springs

I chose this location because of the historic nature of this area of Colorado Springs. I also own and operate my 'honeymoon' French Parisian cottage nearby on the same street. Building began in the area in the late 1800's but most along this historic street are early 1900's. This house was built in 1914.

It is just a few blocks to the I-25 corridor and is minutes from the city center. You can get virtually anywhere in the city within 20 minutes from this location.

This beautiful home is located in the eclectic historic Old North End/Downtown area. This is a not a cookie cutter suburban area but a diverse and historic part of our city. It is minutes from Colorado College, downtown, Penrose Hospital, UCCS and Garden of the Gods. It is a short 8-10 minute drive to the AFA.

I have lived in Colorado Springs for over 30 years and know the area quite well so I can give you concierge service or advice in any area you need.

What makes this house unique

Home is decorated in a French Country style and has undergone an extensive renovation. The oak and fir floors have been returned to their orignial lustre. Both bathrooms are brand new. Tons of attention to detail went into the renovation. The walls have a Venetian plaster that was hand troweled. Painted with the inviting French colors of golds, pinks, blues and greens.

Home is very enveloping and warm with perfectly placed lighting and French themed chandeliers. The kitchen was finished with top of the line stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Enjoy all the accouterments the kitchen is stocked with.

Feel like you are traveling to the country side of France when you walk into the house and gardens. Every piece of furniture, decor, dishes, etc. was lovingly hand chosen for this property for your enjoyment and comfort.

Special requests are taken for any thing you are looking for or need help with. We are here to make sure your vacation stay is filled with memories as beautiful and majestic as the city is itself.

Guestbook comments from the owner

We really enjoyed staying at your home. Under the circumstances of our son and brother's sudden death, the cozy home gave us a gathering place of comfort and refuge. The dining room table was great to sit at and share memories, spread out the things we need to fill out and share meals with our extended family.

We will never forget your hospitality, the items you had for breakfast so we didn't have to rush around the next morning was really appreciated. The cottage helped to bring us closer together in our time of sorrow and helped to make things more beautiful.

It is our intention to try and return each year to spend time as family with Robert's two boys.

Beautiful lush backyard with dining, gas grill, umbrella, fruit trees and a huge area to spread out and play games with the kids or dogs! Provided lawn games to include bocce ball, lawn darts, bean bag toss, etc. Rowenta Iron, Ironing Board, Hair Dryer, Vacuum, high-end toiletries. For your convenience, all locks are digital and you get your own private pass code.

Reviews

VRBO Bear stayed here

Feb 13, 2017

The Honeybee Chateau was the PERFECT fit for the VRBO Bear and my family to relax for the week... Bears love honey bees after all! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with the warmest welcome from the owner Karen! Karen gave us a complete tour of the home and let us know if we needed anything to just call! She provided us with a guest book with all kinds of great info and menus from tons of local restaurants! Karen has really gone to great lengths to make the home warm and comfortable which made us feel right at home. The decor is absolutely charming. Little honeybees can be found throughout the home. It is fun to try to spot them all! The beds were sooooo comfortable. Karen provides guest soaps in the bathroom and washcloths designated for makeup removal! The regular bath towels were bright white and fluffy! It even has a blow dryer for the ladies! We made serious use of the kitchen too. Stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops really invite you to use them! It was stocked with basic condiments, coffee and cooking oils and spices for basic cooking. Much of our down time was spent in the family room with the huge projection TV with Prism Cable, super comfy couches, oversized pillows and cozy throws. In addition, there are games and movies for the whole family. A pack & play and high chair were provided, which came in handy as I was there to spend the week with my new grand-baby! Even though you are in the city, the view of the snow covered Pikes Peak from the front porch (visible through the trees) made us feel like we were in the mountains. It was great to sit on the front porch and have our morning coffee (in a honeybee themed coffee cup!). The backyard has an amazing dining area complete with table and chairs for a large group as well as a grill and fire pit! The location is pretty central to many of the main visitor spots in Colorado Spring and anything you need is within a 5-10 minute drive. You have to visit the Garden of the Gods while you are here, it’s beautiful! Staying at The Honeybee Chateau really made this vacation a memorable one.

Loved the Honeybee Cottage

This was the perfect spot for a sister's weekend. It was clean and cozy. The house fit our needs and we couldn't have been happier. Karen was easy to work with and went above and beyond. She was fabulous. We would definitely stay again.

We loved this home!

This is an amazing vacation rental! Beautifully and comfortably decorated, it is spotlessly clean, and has all the extra little touches that makes one feel pampered. We arrived in the evening to lights on, soft music playing, cookies on the table, and a personal welcome note from Karen, the owner. We immediately felt welcomed and quite at home. The house is very lovely, and the back yard is amazing. So well maintained, private, and with lots of nice spots to sit and visit or just relax. We also enjoyed having coffee on the front porch in the mornings, and watching movies in the comfortable TV room in the evenings, after an exhausting day of sightseeing. This home is in a great location, with just a short drive to all the attractions and lots of great restaurants. The owner, Karen, was very easy to work with in booking this vacation rental. She made sure that everything was in order so that we would have a worry free vacation. Thank you, Karen, for being such a great hostess! We highly recommend this vacation rental and hope to return here again!

So much charm, great location.

This owner has gone above and beyond to make this the most charming vacation rental ever! The beds are so pretty and very comfy, the kitchen is adorable and easy to use and there are many TVs. The decor is fabulous, including stenciled bees on the walls, which we marveled at. Just beautiful. And what a GREAT location! Our little terriers loved the large fenced yard. Don't hesitate.

Amazing Home!

This was our 1st time to stay at a VBRO home & it was an amazing experience! My family LOVED every part of this house. From the moment I opened the door my family & 4 kids loved it (ages 7-12). Karen had soft music playing, fresh flowers in all the rooms, & personalized the dinning room table by writing all our names on black butcher paper! The house was super super clean. The backyard was perfect for them to run around & play. Each night we sat around the fire pit & had smores. The house is perfect for sightseeing - about 15 minutes from all the main areas we wanted to go. Thanks Karen for making our vacation so memorable.

Exceeded our expectations!

As other reviewers have noted, this home was IMMACULATE! I have stayed in B&Bs and Inns all over New England and the Midwest, none were as perfectly prepared or matched the linens and amenities at the Honey Bee Chateau. Everyone in our party of 8 remarked on the comfort of the beds and the sweet smelling bed linens and bath towels. This was a terrific bargain and infinitely nicer than a hotel stay. The kitchen was well appointed and used extensively each and every day. Karen and her husband had the home perfectly prepared and the pre-visit communications were professional, accurate and well informing. We will recommend this property to anyone visiting the Springs.

Location & Comfort found here!

This place was immaculate! Great location with excellent amenities. Karen (the owner) was great to work with providing any information that we need. The Honey Bee was so nice from making s'mores or a barbeque in the back yard to the coffee on the front porch. We loved to walk a few houses down each morning and enjoy the view of Pikes Peak. This was our first trip to Colorado and we can't wait until we can come back again thanks in large part to Karen and the Honey Bee!

We appreciate your participation and assistance with our efforts to operate the most secure and trusted vacation rental marketplace in the industry
